Here is the website for October/Novemberfest 2026.
S.O.S. Steps Off The Street was recently featured in a story on CTV News. Here is the video.
Here is a list written by me of the greatest jazz albums of all time, with some commentary.
Facts about me:
- I am a (retired) professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Ottawa.
- I am a member of the Ottawa Logic and Foundations of Computing Group and the Category Theory Research Centre in Montreal.
- I am a frequent visitor to the Laboratoire Preuves, Programmes et Systemes (PPS).
- I am an editor for the print journal Mathematical Structures In Computer Science
- I am a lifelong citizen of Red Sox Nation and New England Patriots fan.
- This is my favorite musician, but I also like these guys.
- I especially like what is frequently called free jazz or improvised music. This is a great website. And I’m not just saying that because I write reviews for it.
- I volunteer with S.O.S. Steps Off The Street. We bring food, clothing and hope to the homeless directly by walking through downtown neighborhoods with carts full of supplies. Donations would be much appreciated.
